A strip-club patron claims a performer's shoe flew off during a pole dance, shattering the mirrored ceiling and causing glass and the shoe to hit him.

 

An angry wife or girlfriend might not be the only thing to worry about when visiting a strip club.

A Florida man who is suing a jiggle joint claims a performer's shoe flew off during a pole dance, shattered the mirrored ceiling and caused glass and the shoe to hit him.

The lawsuit filed in Broward County by 35-year-old Charles Privette says the Booby Trap breached its duty when its employee failed to perform her routine in a reasonably safe manner. The suit seeks at least $15,000 in damages.

Privette's attorney says his client suffered a small cut to his eyebrow, headaches and nose bleeds because of the Jan. 14 pole dance. Booby Trap general manager George Gettinger acknowledges paramedics were called but says injuries were minor.

My amazing students

Okay, so last night I was in a foul mood.  I had cramps, my taxes still aren't done, latch on my car breaks.  Really, really bad mood.

Then my longtime student and good friend Carol did this move and I was in heaven. 

My pole studio is where my mental therapy happens.  I can escape my bad day and fly to my happy place.  Haha, but it's true.  Not only was I  transformed watching my students work on their tricks, but I accomplished a trick that's been eluding me lately. 

Thanks to Tami, Emily and Carol for bringing me back to my happy place last night.  My Polefessional crew is nothing short of my second family and I love them so much.

Amazing Photo Shoot Last Night!

Last night was so incredible!  We held our Valentine's Day Pole Portrait session at the Secret Desires store in Santa Monica and I was floored by the shots we got.  All the models were current students from my studio and were, for the most part, having their pictures taken to give as Valentine's Day gifts.  Our photographer, Jody Domingue (you should all get to know her name real quick!) made magic with her camera and sense of style.   All these different women of vastly different ages, body types and levels of shyness came alive under her laid back direction and looked freaking amazing.  I was able to see the raw shots on the digital camera after each session and I guarantee that these women have never looked so sensual, primal and strong as they did last night.

We turned the back room at Secret Desires into our own photo studio and spent the night cheering for the girls, dancing to the booming music and eating french fries and onion rings...yum!!  Tami and Emily did an incredible job of transforming the store room into a cozy den of iniquity.

I can't wait until the next shoot.   Jody has great ideas for the next session and I really recommend you buy a spot with her.  I'm just pissed I worked the whole time and didn't take advantage of it too!! 
Check out Jody's work at www.jodydomingue.com.

And don't forget tonight's free pole taster class at Secret Desires.  You'll get a chance to actually learn a trick from Tami, plus you'll get 10% off all your purchases at the store when you mention our company.  The demos are from 6-10pm and Secret Desires is located at 2414 Lincoln Blvd. (between Ocean Park & Pearl) in Santa Monica.  Secret Desires has the cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutest Valentine's Day outfits (we tried on tons of them last night!)  The staff is super friendly and the vibe is girlie girlie naughty fun.  Check them out!

Thanks to Georgia and the entire Secret Desires staff!

Couples Connect Classes!

Lost that romantic spark between you and your partner?  Want to learn to give (and receive) the ultimate lapdance?  Couples Connect is your answer.

Taught inside Freddy and Eddy, LA's classiest and most inviting couples boutique, we focus on reconnecting you through the lovely and seductive art of lapdance.  The women discover just how much power they possess in their hips, their fingertips and their gaze.  The men learn to receive pleasure, being blindfolded, caressed, massaged and pampered.  You learn to focus deeply on each other.  By the time you're ready for your totally private dance with each other, your juices are already flowing.    I love teaching this class because of the HUGE smiles on my couples faces when it's over.   They practically race home to continue the fun.

Couples Connect is only taught once a month and we only take three couples per class.  It's coming up this Saturday at 7:30pm.  We'll serve cappuccino, wine and dessert.  Each couples receives a $25 gift bag compliments of Freddy and Eddy.  To reserve your spot, contact Freddy and Eddy at (310) 915-0380.  Visit their website at www.freddyandeddy.com.
